Vogue Germany alongside her supermodel mom. Though Heidi made it a point to keep her daughter out of the spotlight until that cover, she fully supported Leni s entrance into public life. Sixteen is a good age, Heidi told
Vogue Germany at the time. If you are allowed to drive a car, you can also have an official Instagram account and show your face. And to be allowed to start with a
Vogue cover is an insane privilege.
Being a model, Leni revealed in the interview, is something she s always dreamed of. It was only a matter of time before I would try to become a model myself, Leni said. The first offer came when I was only 12 or 13, from a brand I liked to wear: Brandy Melville. At that time I begged my mother, but no chance. Now I understand that it would have been too early.
